Amazing and brilliant
One of the best holiday experiences we have ever had! The trip was so immaculately planned - right from us browsing their website (btw whoever has done the website copy deserves a raise :)) to talking over emails with Elia and Rose, who were so prompt to replying to all our queries right down to our amazing guide Joseph who was just so skilled, polite, patient and made sure we did not miss absolutely anything. We saw the BIG 5 and captured 4 with our lens for posterity! All the different hotels we stayed at were such a cherry on top, with amazing views, spectacular rooms and impeccable service. But the best part of the trip was the ride in Serengeti! Only regret we may possibly have is not spending more days in Serengeti , we will definitely be back!

Excellent Experience
Trip of a lifetime! End-to-end excellence in service: From the booking process to the lodgings to the Safari itself. Lion King Adventures took our breaths away. Our guide “Mwita” is truly a man of the Serengeti, born and bred here. He had extraordinary knowledge of the wildlife and was always positive, helpful and wonderful. Rosemary in the office also kept tabs on us throughout and made us feel special. Highly recommend!

The accommodation are great especially the 2 nights in Land of Nature in Serengeti, a must do !

Excellent
We had an amazing experience with Lion King Adventures! Everything was perfectly organized from start to finish, making the whole trip completely stress-free. The lodges we stayed in were not only incredibly comfortable but also super cute—each one felt like its own little retreat.
A special shoutout to our driver, Enouk, who truly went above and beyond. Even though it was the rainy season, he made sure we saw everything we hoped for and more! He was kind, funny, and so knowledgeable—he really made the whole trip unforgettable. Highly recommend!

Excellent off-season experience
When choosing a tour operator I selected Lion King because it was highly rated from many reviews and seemed like a safe choice - and we were not disappointed.
Communication was clear and prompt from the beginning and the entire safari experience was very well-organized from start to finish. Our tour guide, Emanuel, made sure to put us in a good spot for photos, had an eye for spotting animals (we saw all of the Big 5) and was knowledgeable about the nature around us.
We traveled during the off-season late November/Early December but the occasional rain showers did not impede on our experience at all. It even seemed like the parks and hotels were less crowded which made for a more private trip. I can highly recommend off-season travel with Lion King Adventures for other honeymooners like ourselves.

Excellent choice for tour in Tanzania
Great experience with my family in Tanzania. Whole trip is very pleasant, friendly tour guide, Suleiman, a young man from Maasai but well educated, good humour making my boy happy, quick to follow game and exchange info with other guides. We were educated along the way, with all The good stories and why one animal behaves this way or the other. Great hotel at the land of nature, feeling and hearing lions at the door way but feeling safe. Great choice of lodges, with safety and close to the nature. We saw all Big 5 and enjoyed all those animal stories. My wife was happy and my boy said excellent.

Great safari experience
Based on the excellent customer feedback we chose Lion King. The entire process from the booking until the end of the safari was very smooth. Everything was very well organized and planned ahead.
Florida did a wonderful job in accommodating our wishes and keeping things organized before safari. She also went above and beyond to get our lost luggage from the airport to one of our lodges we stayed during Safari.
Already on the first day in Tarangire we saw young lions hunting for a warthog (that got away), hyenas harassing elephants, and many giraffes. Stayed at Eileen’s Trees Inn which was clean and friendly.
The second day driving to Serengeti was excellent, the scenery of the mountains, crater views, Maasai villages, and then open plains teeming with animals devoid of human signs. Thanks to our guide Shabani’s expertise and connections, saw a couple of cheetahs and a leopard right up close, and the amazing gnu and zebra herds of the great migration, with a few hippos before lodging at Nyota Luxury Camp. Nyota was beautiful, friendly, clean, and the food was the best.
The second Serengeti day was our highlight, with an early morning balloon ride followed by a game drive where we saw a large pride of lions work together to hunt and catch a warthog which the cubs then got to eat! The fourth day at Ngorongoro crater included lions, buffalos, rhinos, and numerous new bird acquaintances. The last day was at Lake Manyara (TBA).
We were happy with the 5-day duration, as sitting on bumpy roads takes its toll - our two teens would have preferred shorter but such is the attention span of the young these days. The chemistry with our guide was excellent all along, his expertise provided us experiences other parties would have missed, and we can warmly recommend Shabani to anyone!

Amazing!!!!
An absolutely unforgettable experience!! The Serengeti, the crater, the hotels with the views, the animals, all simply fabulous!!
Beginning from our first day since we landed, till the end, everything was perfectly planned and taken care of. We didn’t have to worry about any logistics and could enjoy every day to the heart’s content! Thank you Lion king!
Our guide Gama was superb! made it all possible for us to see so many lions and cats and million other animals! He was amazing and took great care of us!
Going to recommend Lion king and Gama to all our friends!
Incredible!
A honeymoon which was a real
Dream come true! We had an incredible unforgettable time and lion king was great throughout the process including providing information pre booking and ease of payment/booking etc. the real star of the show was our guide gamma! We saw more animals than we could have ever imagined and were actually sick of seeing animals by the end. He knew exactly where to go at what time and gave us the perfect nuggets of info at the right times while keeping us fully engaged. He was funny knowledgeable and our trip would not have been nearly as good without him. I will be 100% recommending lion king and specifically gamma to friends and hope to go on another tour with him very soon!

Memories made for a lifetime
We were picked up at the airport on time and the driver was very friendly. The accommodations were also super cute and we really loved staying there. Our guide Leonard was amazing, he cared very well for us and listened to our questions and wishes. He told us many interesting things, we saw so many animals and he was super flexible when one of us got a cough and we asked to start the safari later. He even drove to a pharmacy with us. And we made it to our flight on time. So long story short - we loved our adventure with Lion King Adventures.
